Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio
The most interesting part of the story is that the ring that Joe gave Marilyn on their wedding day is not the one that became legendary. Since they decided to get married within a few days, Joe did not have the perfect ring for Marilyn. Therefore, some say that Joe gave Marilyn a family heirloom to wear on their wedding day. But to this day, no-one knows the whereabouts of that particular ring as it was soon replaced by the Marilyn Monroe eternity ring.
Marilyn Monroe’s Ring: a Tribute To Love
The Marilyn Monroe ring is the ultimate symbol of companionship and a promising life together, forever.
The eternity ring is made of platinum and is set with 35 baguette-cut diamonds. The ring was sold for an incredible 772,500 dollars in 1999 at a Christie’s auction, although it was estimated between 30,000 dollars and 50,000 dollars as it was even missing one diamond.
Unfortunately, the marriage ended after just eight months, but it seems clear that Joe never stopped loving Marilyn for the rest of his life, and the feeling must have been reciprocated. As it is even thought that shortly before she passed, Marilyn was actually planning to remarry Joe in 1962.
But we shall never know for sure.
